Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The repetition of Victoria’s disregard for the Doctor’s safety advice (first in Episode 1 via Hopper’s conflict with Parry; second in Episode 2 via her pocketing the Cybermat) underscores her growing independence and naivety, which leads directly to her isolation and endangerment through Kaftan’s manipulation.
